Human Hair- Curly Weave

Friday, April 27, 2012

I have a project and its to rephrase this paragrapgh but change it so that it has the same meaning c

If society allows a human being to exist in a state free from restraints the human will flourish without limitations much like a tree that grows boundless in nature. Only nature itself with its streaks of "lightening" could prevent the tree's branches from stretching toward the sky. However, as Marge Piercy profoundly states in her poem, "A Work of Artifice," society often suceeds in skillfully stifling the growth of individuals, especially women.

Piercy employs the use of a vivid extended metaphor in the beginning lines of this poem in oreder to convey her feelings toward our cunning society. If a "bonsai tree" remains in nature free to reach its fruition ti could grow to "eighty feet tall." However, the "gardener" limits the growth of the tree placing it in an "attractive pot" and stunting it閳ユ獨 growth to a dwarf-like "nine inches." The "gardener" replaces the trees nature to grow with a manipulative lie telling the tree that its "domestic" and "weak" qualities should overpower its tendency to grow tall and strong. The pot, as well, limits the tree and places meager expectations of development on the bonsai. Society, the metaphorical gardener of young lives, places these same stifling boundaries on undeveloped human beings. When society plants the message to remain "small and cozy" in a young mind, the individual begins to believe that a conventional "pot," "attractive" to society provides the only true place for them to dwell. Society's fear of the unknown and what they cannot understand manifests itself in the manner in which they hinder the expansion of young minds into unexplored territories of knowledge.

Piercy begins a more obvious parallel between the bonsai tree and humans by stating that "one must begin very early to dwarf" the growth of living creatures. She alludes to the treatment of Asian women. In offer to remain petite and comply with society's standards Asian women have their feet "bound." However, the stifling of the growth of women extends beyond the physical into the manner in which society "cripple[s]" their brains and puts their "hair in curlers." At this point in the poem, Piercy narrows in on the treatment of women with her allusion to "curlers." Society captures women at an early age before they have enjoyed creative and intellectual freedom and stifles their growth by brainwashing them into remaining "domestic and weak" like the pruned bonsai tree. Piercy narrows in on the fact that those who love women have the most significant impact on them and influence their growth most significantly by stating that the "hands you love to touch" stunt a woman's growth the most.

Marge Piercy's obvious feelings toward society's treatment of women manifest themselves in "A Work of Artifice" much like many of her poems. She vividly utilizes the bonsai tree as an example of how one's emotional, physical, and intellectual growth often suffers at the loving hands of society's pruning gardeners

I have a project and its to rephrase this paragrapgh but change it so that it has the same meaning could help?

first you need to deside what the paraghraph is trying to say then read it and write about the paragraph in your view and make sur to put the paragraph some where that you won't be tempted to read it for answers

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

Exsist before life came to be????

And I am sure you believe some life microrganism came alive on earth, then when did that happen? and when did DNA come to be? science cannot answer this with accuracy....

Not to sound trivial but the design of a human body is unique

We could of been born with tiny heads one eye, no hair, but we were created in the image of GOD because evolution would not been able to create the uniqueness of a human being, and for all I know Life on other planets might be created by Satan and that is why they look like the accounts given to people who witnessed them at Roswell..

We do not know everything about the Universe and the origin of life..But GOD gives us a Bible to be our guide how to live on this planet in Goodness and in hope that Satan and evil will be wiped away..You say I want the world to end..NOT TRUE I believe myself and other Christians want the evil that we live with to end..Child killings, wars, disease etc...

Thoughts?

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

oh yeah, you are only satisfied with the answer "god did it"

I suggest reading at least ONE real science book

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

Evolution has nothing to do with how life began on earth.

Science is your friend. Pick up a book at your local library and read it.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

Willing ignorance on your part is not a lack of proof of evolution.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

No offense, Crimson; but have you ever even set FOOT in a science class?

Evolution is NOT about how the planet Earth came into existence.

To answer your first question, it's estimated that the first single-celled organisms came into being about 3.5 billion years ago -- roughly 1 billion years after the earth was first formed.

Second, the design of the human body is far from "unique" -- which is why even the most exotic life forms on Earth have about 30-40% or more of their DNA in common with humans. Nature has been mixing and matching bits of genetic code for BILLIONS of years -- killing off the unsuccessful ones and allowing the successful ones to pass on their traits to future generations.

Third, how do you KNOW that it was God who gave you your bible, and not a bunch of ignorant, manipulative, or just-plain-mistaken human beings? Saying "Because the bible says so" is just another of those annoying logical fallacies -- this one's called "circular logic" -- that shoots your entire hypothesis straight to hell....

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

"Geology shows that fossils are of different ages. Paleontology shows a fossil sequence, the list of species represented changes through time. Taxonomy shows biological relationships among species. Evolution is the explanation that threads it all together. Creationism is the practice of squeezing one's eyes shut and wailing 'does not!'"

Wow. Nothing about the formation of the planets. Could it be you don't know what you are talking about?

The planet existed for about 3 billion years before life was formened. And we are talking 1 cell bacteria as life.

And how are we formened in the image of god if god has no body?

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

Scientists believe it could have been as little as 570 million years after the formation of the Earth until life appeared - if you count a self replicating molecule as life.

"We could of been born with tiny heads one eye, no hair, but we were created in the image of GOD" - so you've seen God have you? And how remarkably similar chimpanzees look to God. Why, they have two arms, legs, eyes - just about everything in their appearance is the same except their heads and hair. Humans are far from unique - the entire primate family differs from us very little.

Now if all other life on earth resembled jellyfish I could see where you were coming from.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

It would be good for you to find out what evolution is, you show you don't by saying that it caused Earth to exist.

That is a profound misunderstanding.

It is not too difficult, but it involves a bit of impartial thinking to understand.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

All I can do is shake my head and feel sorry for you.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

There are some interesting books available which summarize research on the origins of life. Briefly, organic chemicals formed from simple chemical reactions. Eventually nucleic acids were formed by the bonding of organic chemicals. That can even be reproduced in a laboratory. Chains of nucleic acids formed simple shards of RNA. Eventually an RNA molecule capable of self replication (simply by having a certain sequence of nucleobases) would have been formed. This would have led to an RNA phenotypic world. Simple molecular shards of RNA, once capable of self replication, would have been subjected to an evolutionary process. But a chemical evolutionary process different from biological evolution. For instance, distinct phenotypes of RNA could have joined or bonded together to form new phenotypes. Later, advanced forms of phenotypic RNA, with the ability to synthesize proteins, store genetic information and reproduce would have evolved. Eventually we would have had viral-like shells synthesized by RNA strands, consisting of maybe as few as 150 codons. We are still a long way away from a single cell with complex chromosomes built of DNA, but we are getting there, step-by-step, no? It appears to have taken a few hundreds of millions of years for these evolutionary precursor events to have led to the first single celled organism with DNA.

That life came about first by chemical evolution and later through biological evolution is no longer a matter of scientific contention. The really hot question now in science is whether phenotypic RNA evolved protein synthesis and metabolism, or whether these chemical processes started independently (it appears that this is chemically possible) and then merged in an endosymbiotic process.

Also, the human body is not so unique, but is very similar in anatomy, morphology and even in molecular genetics, to other species in the primate order. That is why we do medical research on monkeys and apes.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

You do realize that evolution is a theory of how current species came to exist, right? Because only an idiot would think that it explains how Earth came to be.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

You should read up on this. It's really interesting. A lot of very careful time and thought has gone into the study of early Earth, all a wonderful mystery to be unraveled with scant information.

PS There are no reliable accounts about any extraterrestrials that have come out of Roswell NM.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

so how do you know the bible is correct? there have been countless other religions that have given different explinations on how the earth came to be and how life came to be. why is your tale correct while every other one throughout the span of human existance is wrong? just because you say the bible is god speaking to us? other religions can claim that also so that is not a valid argument.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

You are an advanced species of primate thats why you look like you do. Why do you think evolution would not be able to produce a human being? What point of reference do you have on what evolution can or cannot create. What is this life on other worlds is created by Satan stuff? Where does it say that in the Bible? Your just making this up as you go along

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

Evolution did not cause the plane to exist. The Theory of Evolution has nothing at all to do with the birth of the universe and the formation of stars and planets. Based on such a fallacy, the rest of your question is invalid.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

Actually, the human body is not unique. We look just like a lot of other primates, and similar to other mammals as well.

And evolution did not cause the creation of the planet. Evolution tells how life has changed to be the way it is now.

I have said it before and I will say it again: try learning something before you post, child.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

Great question.

What pushes a Galaxy cluster in a mappable path?

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

6 billion years ago the earth had a methane atmosphere, they have evidence of this. In a lab they took methane added lightning strikes and created life, proteans. A few trillion different proteans in a promordial soup and you have single cells and dna. Science has answered these questions and many more stupid ones you have asked. The design of the human is not unique, it is spread throughout the animal kingdom especially the primates. Virtually identical in some aspects. It is the most efficient form it could have taken. That is why the phi formula is so distinct, it is efficient throughout nature in almost all respects. Should you believe in god as a guy hanging out in space someplace who looks a lot like you then you are seriously demented. Anything like a god would be a spirit, not a corporal being. And now you are throwing in Rloswell?? If god created us why is it that he did not creat all the other beings out there. Did he get tired out or something?? If you should actually read something outside of the bible, there was a Jesus person who came to the Aztecs and the Incas in central and south america about the same time as Jesus in the bible preaching almost the same thing. And they died in similar manners. One was raised off a mountain in a cloud and one walked across the water diappearing in the distance. This is all true which is why the monks with the conquistadores did their best to destroy any written information by those races and then did their best to destroy those races. And here you are again thinking the bible was written in english. Get a clue.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

Technically, the process of life forming is abiogenesis, but evolutionary principles apply once a molecule can catalyze reactions forming similar molecules. DNA was probably a late development -- a more stable storage system to produce more working RNA.

Life on earth started about 3.8 billion years ago, 700-800 million years after the Earth formed.

The fact that every terrestrial vertebrate has a tetrapod (four-limbed; some creatures have lost one or both pairs or may have vestiges), two-eyed architecture discounts the uniqueness you proclaim.

Your speculation about life on other planets is just vapid fantasizing.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

Do some reading before you post a question please.

Evolution did not "cause the planet Earth to exsist" as you say. Evolution did not even cause life to exist on the earth. Evolution is simply the explination for how life changes from one form to another on the Earth.

It is interesting that you say that satan created aliens. I guess that would make him a god then, after all you are claiming that he created life.

If you want evil to end then end the major religions that are fueling it, the Abrahamic religions.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

Evolution only started once life began. The planet formed as a result of the "Big Bang", another theory entirely. Based on current data the time it took for the earth to form to the point where it could support life can only be guessed at but it is likely on the order of eons. Over the course of billions of years, life adapted to the environment around it through mutation. The mutations that were beneficial survived through breeding. Those that didn't died off. When the environment changed drastically, so did life. We developed as complex organisms with systems and intellect that allow us to survive where other species wouldn't. We have many vestigial organs that no longer have use such as the appendix, something we would not have if we were created but would have if we descended from creatures that had functional appendixes.

As predators, we needed depth perception which is provided by binocular vision, accommodated by two front-facing eyes. Hair was for warmth and was more abundant on our non-clothing wearing ancestors. The large cranium houses our huge cerebrum, the reason we are able to converse and think and not just grunt and throw rocks.

Just because science cannot accurately answer every question does not make it a matter of religion and faith. Remember, you are basing your world view on the stories of nomadic sheep herders from literally millennia ago. You have zero evidence to support any of your claims. Scientists have over 100 years of data collected that all point towards "survival of the fittest" style evolution.

So if you believe Evolution cause planet Earth to exsist, then how long did this planet?

Thoughts? Yes, but my mother taught me that if I didn't have anything nice to say, keep them to myself.

You have created for yourself a nice little bubble. Since you can't apply evolution to the beginnings of the universe, then both must be false. That would be like saying that since Gravity is less on the Moon, Einstein's Theory of Relativity must not be true either.

"I believe myself and other Christians want the evil that we live with to end..Child killings, wars, disease etc"

Since (in the US) Christians are the ones doing the child killing and causing the wars maybe you all need to work on yourselves before you worry about anyone else.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing

If there is an all-knowing God that knows all events-past, present and future-then humans are NOT free to act in any manner but the manner in which God already KNOWS they will act.

Because if humans COULD act differently than God already "knew" they would act, God wouldn't be all-knowing, would he?

So humans AREN'T "free" to act in any way other than how God already KNOWS they will act. That's not "freedom" or "free will", is it?

And don't tell me that you think God doesn't already know what every human will do in their entire lifetimes, because you already believe that he knows when you are going to die and how many hairs are on your head. It's absurd to believe that he wouldn't know everything in between, under your view.

Why is it that hard for you to grasp it?

And if humans can't act any differently than how God knows they will act, then why should ANYTHING a human does be punishable? They didn't have any choice but to do what God knew they would do, right?

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

duck when they throw bible quotes at you!

yes, you're right. but they will probably say that you just don't understand, because it's for god to know and understand

edit: see johnny's answer

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

The classic response to this is that despite his knowledge he does not interfere...but I wonder why God put us in that situation in the first place knowing how we'd react.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

God knows what we are going to do, but doesn't force us into making that decision.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

I don't know why it is so hard for you to grasp a concept outside of your own small brain. Yes, if a human were GOD, then your logic applies. But God is beyond time, space, and all human-knowledge. How can you think that His omnipotence is anything like the omnipotence you are imagining... ?

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

The same reason they fear their " Loving " God and his wrath.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

It's that hard because they aren't mentally capable of understanding it.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

"Free will" does not mean "free to act any way you please"

"Free will" means "the will to acknowledge, love and worship God". That's what it means. Here on Earth we have the grand occasion to ignore him.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

All free will is, is the right to make choices--it doesn't have anything to do with God's omniscience' He loves us %26amp; wants us to make the right choices %26amp; serve Him, but He wants us to serve Him willingly so He doesn't force us to do anything. We make choices, but all choices have consequences.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

You logic is circular. We have free will; God know what we will do.

Just because I know that my kids will find the unopened box of cookies and eat them, doesn't mean that they don't have the free will to find them and eat them. BUT if knowing they would do it, I didn't buy them, then I'd be interferring in their free will.

God knows how we will act, he does not remove obstacles, choices, temptations, etc that would remove our free will. But he still KNOWS what we'll do.

Your logic is flawed.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

Complete rubbish. I can analyse what a person knows and their experiences and make very accurate predictions on what they will do in a given situation. My analysis does not preclude free will.

All it means is that I can predict what will happen - it doesn't mean that I can influence it.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

He knows the outcome of all possible choices so our choices are real and we live within the parameters of limitations sovereignly ordained.

He is not a micromanager.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

It is free will. He just knows how you're going to choose.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

Not all Christians believe that free will really does exist. Five point Calvinists believe that God's sovereignty prevents free will. What would your response be to them?

That if He's an "all-knowing" God, then He's unfair to condemn people to Hell who didn't have a choice?

So, regardless of a Christian's theological point of view, it won't matter, because you have an a priori opinion that excludes either point of view, because it rejects God.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

Let me answer this as a father. I have two children and i know them well enough to gage their response to certain things. When they were small i gave them each money the same amount. I knew my daughter would save to buy something she needed but I also knew my son would waste it quickly. Because i loved them both iI gave it any hoping my son would make right decisions. As a child he nevered once did as i hoped. But as they grew to adults He slowly but surely did what was right. Love allows you to do for both but still they make up their own minds.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

Just because God knows whats we are going to do doesn't mean that he in any way manipulates our actions. We still have freewill, its just that God knows what decisions we are going to make.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

Are We Free? Do We Have Free Will? If God exercises providential control over all events are we in any sense free?

The answer depends on what is meant by the word 'free'. In some senses of the word 'free', everyone agrees that we are free in our will and in our choices. Thus, when we ask whether we have free will, it is important to be clear as to what is meant by the phrase.

Scripture nowhere says that we are free in the sense of being outside of God閳ユ獨 sovereign control or of being able to make decisions that are not caused by anything. (This is the sense in which many people seem to assume we must be free.) Nor does it say we are free in the sense of being able to do right on our own apart from God閳ユ獨 power.

BUT, WE ARE nonetheless FREE in the greatest sense that any creature of God could be free: we make willing choices, choices that have real effects. We are aware of no restraints on our will from God when we make decisions.

We must insist that we have the power of willing choice; otherwise we will fall into the error of fatalism or determinism and thus conclude that our choices do not matter, or that we cannot really make willing choices.

On the other hand, the kind of freedom that is demanded by those who deny God閳ユ獨 providential control of all things, a freedom to be outside of God閳ユ獨 sustaining and controlling activity, would be impossible if Jesus Christ is indeed continually carrying along things by his word of power (Heb. 1:3). If this is true, then to be outside of that providential control would simply be not to exist!

An absolute freedom, totally free of God閳ユ獨 control, is simply not possible in a world providentially sustained and directed by God himself.

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

Well for starter's you don't seem to understand what God given free will means...we were given free will in whether or not we chose to follow God.....and as for God knowing in advance what will happen does not mean that He has made it so....it means that given the choices we will face He knows what we will do and how it will turn out....but we get to choose how the end will affect us personally....(saved or lost...you decide)

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

Good question. I'm not a Christian, but this caught my eye.

Simply knowing what someone isn't going to do does NOT take away their free will. God simply knows all possible consequences of every action we carry out. That's what makes Him God.

For instance, if a parent tells a child not to do something, but knows the child well enough that the he/she will disobey, then it's safe to say that the parent already knows what's going to happen IF the child chooses to disobey. However, the parent also knows the outcome if the child does obey him/her.

Also, just because you haven't finished the book doesn't mean the ending will ever change. The author knows the ending before the reader (ever) finishes the book.

You see, simply knowing as God does doesn't take away our free will. God simply knows which choices we are going to make and what will happen.

I hope you understand, fellow scholar.

Knowledge is power; power is freedom; freedom is peace.

Peace be upon you...

Christians, why don't you grasp that humans cannot have "free will" if an all-knowing God exists?

Why is it hard for you to grasp that there's no contradiction in stating that God is all-knowing and that we're free to act as we choose? Though God knows what will happen, we are still completely free to act however we choose to. He doesn't force us to act any way, we act how we choose; God just knows how we're going to do it. If we didn't have free will, then that's called predestination; that's where God forces us to act a certain way, which is unbiblical. We are completely free, God just knows which choices we're going to make and which ways we're going to act.

Anybody want to explain these Bible contradictions today, or are we still in the self-denial stage?
